Chapter Nineteen

DI

“Christian, it’s a bad idea,” I said.

Ben slowed the car down. We hadn’t left the Qualla Boundary yet, but Christian planned to storm the dude ranch. Our carefully constructed, well thought out, flawless plan from the night before was vetoed by Christian now that the light of day was upon us.

“It’s the only way,” he said. “Keep driving Ben. We can be there by seven if we leave right now.” The tone of his voice left no room for discussion. Ben, however, took executive powers into his own hands.

He stopped the freshly painted silver van in front of a beige vinyl-sided house. With one sharp intake of breath from Christian, out walked a tall beautiful girl with almost black hair. The shade of it so rich and full, and so similar to Christian’s that it must be natural. “Ben,” he growled.

Ben gripped the steering wheel. “We need help. No one knows her.”

She smiled as she climbed into the side door. “Hi,” she said, reaching out her hand to shake mine. “I’m Rebecca.”

“Di.”

“Hey, Becca,” Coda called from the front.

“Hey, Coda, Ben,” she said. She shyly ducked her head as she turned to Christian. “Hi Christian.”

“Hi, Bec. Thanks for offering to help, but we don’t need you. We’ve got the situation under control,” he said in an uncharacteristic, dismissive manner.

Rebecca narrowed her eyes at him. “Ben told me you were not yourself. I am helping you Christian Evergood, and there is nothing you can do about it.”

Her dark eyes smoldered with determination. I immediately softened to her. Powerful, confident women strengthened my own resolve every time. “She’s right, Christian. You need her.”

“I don’t need anyone except Starr,” he murmured.

Rebecca’s eyes dropped, but I didn’t miss the pinkness in her cheeks. I remembered that feeling, that crushing weight when I realized that Christian fell for Starr instead of me. The realization that I left my home with all my cash and only a few belongings, traveled on a train then a subway then a bus for a boy I had a crush on.

That anger I felt. The desire to break something that swarmed through me. I couldn’t understand why Christian cared more for Starr than he did for me, but he did.

Rebecca can try as she might to make him fall for her, but Christian and Starr orbited on the same axis. Two celestial bodies destined to return to each other.

Frank squeezed my hand. “You okay?”

I squeezed his. “Yeah, yeah I am.”
